Minnesota, USA (06.06.2019) – In surface mount technology, solder paste deposition is a critical procedure in board assembly operations. This procedure is susceptible to defects and faults during the assembling process. These defects are found either in the solder paste itself, or in the solder printing procedure. The process of fixing these defects is extremely time consuming and results in wastage of material, additional expenditure, and intemperate downtime. However, this can be avoided through solder paste inspection (SPI) which is a one sure-fire way to tackle solder defects in PCBs. The SPI process involves utilizing specialized inspection systems to test solder paste deposits. SPI system was developed to meet the manufacturer’s need to closely monitor the solder paste alignment and volume during the printing procedure as a part of a quality management system. SPI uses angle cameras which take quick 3D images to measure solder paste volume and alignment. The SPI software additionally provides vital information about the printing procedure that recognizes whether any defects are brought about by the solder or another source which would then be able to be remedied early in the assembly process. Since SPI quickly recognizes any blemished solder volume or alignment process variations, SPI altogether improves print quality and yield—guaranteeing the proficient manufacture of excellent, high performing PCBs while controlling expenses due to revamp.
